Description

[Edit] [History]
The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It's a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the war to end all wars.
Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined domination.
Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they Prevail?

Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. It's up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close portals to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many portals open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world. Defeat the Ancient One in combat!

0 Mnomquah - Custom GOO with additional map/cards
Mnomquah.zip
This is a custom Ancient One sheet for Mnomquah, along with a map for the Lake of Ubboth, a Scenario and a monster token, all needed to play with this GOO. Kind of a different take on the final battle, to say the least.

This is the third of three collections of tuckboxes to hold the small cards from the game.

This set contains the boxes for the cards indicated on the cover of the boxes. The boxes were created using the Super Deluxe Tuckbox Template Maker (http://www.cpforbes.net/tuckbox/tuckbox.cgi) and images available here on the Geek.
